just write :: too big to contain

i am participating in the just write challenge again this week. if you would like to try some free form writing, join in and link up with the extraordinary ordinary.


they sat,
eating beignets and talking. 


the snippets i heard concerned 
detailed descriptions of homes 
and 
the deadly skills they each possessed. 


they wondered what they might call themselves  when they became old ladies. 


they made maps of their worlds
with time machines 
and railroads and worm holes,
and castles and shops.


all their maps fit together with 
a special coded design key - 
but each kingdom was autonomous 
as each girl was.


giggles and fake dramatic accents, 
plans and ideas - so big,
they could barely be contained.

  2. This is so beautiful.
    It's so easy to get lost in their worlds isn't it?
